Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

Ecography, EarlyView.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

Phylogeography of Lanius senator in its breeding range: conflicts between alpha taxonomy, subspecies distribution and genetics

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
Implementing efforts to understand biogeographic distribution patterns and taxonomic limits within animal groups is crucial for addressing several challenges of modern zoology.

Diversity and composition of intertidal gastropod microbiomes across a major marine biogeographic boundary

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2019
Summary Marine biogeographic boundaries act as barriers to dispersal for many animal species, thereby creating distinctive faunas on either side. However, how such boundaries affect the distributions of microbial taxa remains poorly known.

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Ecoregional distributions of the world’s freshwater vertebrate species

Scientific Data
Large-scale conservation of biodiversity requires understanding how species are distributed around the world. The first global delineation of freshwater ecoregions (Abell et al.

A practical guide to species trend detection with unstructured data using local frequency scaling (Frescalo)

Ecography, EarlyView.
Accurately measuring biodiversity change remains a central challenge in ecology. Beyond the general idea of quantifying temporal species frequency changes, several sampling‐related biases in data collection remain key methodological challenges to consider. Long‐term standardized ecological data are rare, and most available datasets exhibit considerable

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Evidence for Plio-Pleistocene Duck Mussel Refugia in the Azov Sea River Basins

Diversity, 2020
Freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoida) play an important role in freshwater habitats as ecosystem engineers of the water environment. Duck mussel Anodonta anatina is widely distributed throughout Europe, Siberia, and Western and Central Asia, which ...

Offshore marine renewable energy devices as stepping stones across biogeographical boundaries [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2014
Summary Offshore renewable energy provides an increasing component of our electricity supply. We have limited understanding of the potential environmental impacts of these developments, particularly in the move to larger scales. Surfaces provided by devices offer novel habitat to marine organisms, which may allow species to spread to new areas.
